So I built my first computer back in Dec 2016.
Long story short, just recently my motherboard failed and I didn't want to go through the whole RMA process. Although I still could, I really don't want the same motherboard again. And in the back of my mind, while I'm at it, I might as well upgrade a few other things.
So anyway, I've spent COUNTLESS hours scouring internet reviews looking for a reliable option for a replacement that fits my build. I can't for the life of me find one that doesn't have a good chunk (10-20%) of reviews saying "DOA" or, "Worked great up until now" , ETC. Why??? Are motherboards just prone to failure? I don't even care about features at this point, I just want a mobo that I don't have to replace in the near future.
SO I guess if anyone has any motherboard suggestions, or a go-to motherboard they like using, I'm all ears. I'll link my build at the bottom so you can see what I'm working with.
Thanks!
